About

/ / / THE PRESS / / /

OXBLOOD is an independent publisher of experimental and theoretical texts, broadsides and artists’ publications in addition to operating as a platform for engaging in and generating contemporary discourse centered around the various actions of publishing as a means for the production and dissemination of knowledge.

Operating under the imperative – GET OUT / GET OUT FAST – OXBLOOD features work from emerging artists / writers, publishing in “limited” editions that utilize whatever production technology may currently be available to the press. We embrace and question the complex urgency of our time.

Founded H.R. Buechler in 2008, Oxblood Press transitioned to OXBLOOD Publishing in the summer of 2016.
